Hey everyone!! Sorry I haven't posted in a few days, you probably remember that I was out of town filming some TV segments and the automatic posting on Blogger is not working for me right now! But that's ok, if that's the only problem in my work life right now I'd say I was ok ;) Everything went GREAT in Ohio and Texas! There are lots of little details to remember when packing for these kinds of trips and I am proud to say I didn't forget anything :) Mission accomplished!

DCWV Founder Nancy Hill traveled with me to Ohio to film the PBS show, Scrapbook Soup. We had so much fun being just the 2 of us. It reminded of my of some of our first trips together when I first started in 2004. We had some good TLC time and our segments went great. Nancy has been doing these kinds of filmings forEVER and is ready to "pass the baton" over to me. I have big shoes to fill as I have admired Nancy for years as she shines on camera. But I am honored and excited for the new challenge!

Then I headed down to Dallas to see my friends at Michaels! And when I say friends I really mean friends. They are such a great group of people. Jo Pearson and I filmed some web-i-sodes and the projects I took are adorable! They will be on Michaels website in May for National Scrapbooking Month. I will make sure to send you a link when I see them.

And I am excited for you to see the Michaels Craft Masters episode where I was a judge! I think it turned out great and as you can guess, it was SO fun filming. If you haven't heard, TLC is launching a new show VERY SIMILAR to this called Craft Wars which will air in June! Tori Spelling is the host and Micahels Jo Pearson is a judge on it. Jo gave me the scoop on the show and it sounds like it will be SO FUN to watch! And I had to hear all about Tori too :) Sounds like she's a doll!! So watch for that :)

Today's project came from a blog fan, Sue Kosec from Dallas. She emailed me these photos and I just loved the project! She graciously allowed me to share the photos with you on here because I loved how she used the Lemon Flower Stack. Thank you, Sue! When you look at this box, you really have no idea what is inside!

This was a gift she made for a friend for her birthday. She used the Lemon Flower paper to make little pages and flowers and she added quotes on the pages.

Love this flower. Doesn't our glitter paper look awesome?!

I love how she added a few silk flowers into the book. Just to mix it up a bit ;)

Thank you, Sue, for letting me share your wonderful project!

I have a couple winners from last week! Email me your address and I will send you some NEW paper goodies :) erinmadsen@diecutsinc.com

Wow, Erin, I am so excited for you! I know you will do a wonderful job on camera....you always do! I am so glad that you had so much fun!

Oh, I love the Lemon Flower quote book....it's so beautiful! I have a confession. When Lemon Flower came out, I went back to JoAnn and bought a second stack. That is the first time that I have ever done cos' I love that stack so much! Thanks for the inspiration!!

I am so glad I get your blog updates cuz you always keep us in the loop on what's current. I am looking forward to that new show on TLC. I am hoping scrapbook soup will air in my area too! I loved one of the quote from that beautiful book and it's now my status on Facebook!Thanks!

Sue is so talented- her projects are not only amazing- they are always out of this world gorgeous-- this one is no exception. What a wonderful gift to give someone special. Kudos to My friend Sue for her creative artistry!Vicki

So VERY inspiring and fresh looking on all these projects.! I can't wait for the new shows!!!!!!!!!! Please let us know what cable channels they will be on in the SouthEast/Florida? Good luck...life sounds exciting for YOU!Creative Wishes,Claire S.

I so love this mini book, first because it is beautiful, second because it's small size would make it easy to create, and third because I love those quotes! Great idea!Glad all went well for you on your trip Erin and that you had a great time!

What an awsome gift! I may lift the idea as my DIL has recently heard that there is no more they can do for her Dad's cancer. As you can imagine, the family is in shock. So I've been trying to come up with something I can make that might soothe her and the children. I think this is close. I might make it an album with quotes along with places for pix of him and the family to have forever. I know I'll use a DCWV stack, not to decide which one! I'm looking forward to the new shows. I miss having crafting tv to watch. Congrats on your new assignment! I know you'll do a fab job. HugsJessica

Wow...so much packed into one post. :) First off, LOVED the Craft Masters video with you as the judge. You did a great job and that was a fun video to watch. I'm excited about the new show that Tori is going to be doing. Can't wait to see it. Congrats on your PBS show. I'm glad you had fun on your trips. Thanks for showcasing Sue's project. It's really beautiful.

Heh..Heh..I enjoyed watching the Craft Masters! Congrats to Misty for winning the Craft Master! TLC is my favorite channel to watch AND I can't wait to check out this new show...June is too long to wait!!!!

WOW - I was just thinking this weekend of doing something exactly like this! I was getting a list of quotes together from Melody Beattie to make, I was thinking a tag album. Perfect timing! Thanks Erin!

The mini album is fantastic! And today was my first chance to sit down and watch an entire episode of Craft Masters! So glad I did! I was pulling for Misty the whole time! You girls did a wonderful job judging!

WOW, I'm so surprised that Miriam Prantner won AGAIN!! Actually, I'm shocked when she DOESN'T win a prize. Hmmmmmmm. Anyway, I really like the banner on the one page, and the flowers on all of them. They are very cute.

Welcome back, Erin!! I just recently discovered Craft Masters and can say, I'm hooked!! I saw the episode with you in it before you posted this, and you can only imagine my excitement when I saw YOU as a judge!! I was yelling, (well, not literally :) "Erin!!! Go Erin!!" ;) You looked beautiful and did such a wonderful job!

Yeah!! OOh man Congratulations!!! I used to watch Scrapbook Memories...which is now Scrapbook Soup ! Can't wait to see the show!! Love the roses & The Lemon Flower Stack..Can't wait till June & see TLC's Craft Wars. So much going on...great year for paper crafters!!
